You will act as a trusted commercial partner, helping clients gain greater value from Keyloop solutions while delivering sustainable revenue growth, customer satisfaction and increased share of wallet. ## What you'll do - A consultative approach with sales as your art form - you listen first, diagnose the real problem, and know how to spot an opportunity forming inside a dealer group, backed by real experience in automotive. - A track record of growing relationships - building relationships that span from C-suite to end user, and hitting the numbers that matter along the way. - The empathy to genuinely understand dealer challenges and processes - the margin pressure, the throughput targets, the day-to-day operational reality - and the communication skills to turn that understanding into trust. - Sharp commercial judgement - balancing what dealers need by delivering an ROI that lands and is relevant. - A planner's brain in a hunter's body - organised enough to own your territory and workload, curious enough to keep problem-solving. - Resilience that doesn't quit - you bounce back fast, own the outcome, and stay laser-focused on delivering even when the pace picks up. - The knack for making complex tech make sense - breaking down big automotive and business challenges into something any dealer, technical or not, can get behind. ## What you'll bring - Strong experience in account management, consultative sales or business development, ideally within technology, SaaS or the automotive sector. - A proven ability to grow strategic accounts, build senior-level relationships and achieve commercial targets. - Excellent communication, presentation, influencing and negotiation skills. - Commercial judgement, with the ability to balance customer needs with profitable outcomes for Keyloop. - Strong planning, analytical and problem-solving skills, with confidence managing your own territory and workload. - A resilient, accountable and results-focused approach, with a commitment to delivering a high-quality client experience. - The ability to explain complex technology and business challenges clearly to non-specialist audiences.
